Game of Thrones Wins Best Drama Series at 2018 Emmy Awards

This is its second Outstanding Drama Series win.

Game of Thrones has won the award for Outstanding Drama Series at the 2018 Emmy Awards.

Accepting the award were showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, producer Bernie Caulfield, author George R.R. Martin as well as an array of the show's cast, including Peter Dinklage, Gwendoline Christie, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Isaac Hempstead-Wright and more.

"Writing for these actors behind me has been the greatest honor ... We didn’t invent these characters, the show could not be without the mad genius of George, thank you for trusting us with your characters," said Benioff during his acceptance speech.

"A show is only as good as the people who make it, and we’re blessed and lucky to have the greatest cast, the greatest crew, the greatest producers," continued Weiss. "It is an honor to work with them from Spain to Iceland all the way to our home base of Belfast, Northern Ireland."

This is the second Emmy win of the night for Game of Thrones. Peter Dinklage also won for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, his third win for the show. Game of Thrones also won big on Night 1 of the Creative Arts Emmys, scooping 7 Emmys for its Score, Stunt Coordination, Costumes, Production Design, Sound Mixing, Prosthetic Makeup and Visual Effects in Season 7.

Game of Thrones previously won Outstanding Drama Series at the 2016 Emmy Awards, and was inelligible in 2017 due to its lengthy hiatus off the air.

This is the second-to-last Emmy Awards that Game of Thrones will be eligible for. The show recently wrapped its series finale, and will premiere its eighth and final season in 2019.
